Sweet Cornbread

Cornbread is probably my favorite quick bread. It’s easy to make and goes well with so many dishes. A casserole, beef stew, chili. Or even by itself as a light snack.

There’s always been a feud in my house whether cornbread should be sweet or not. I grew up on sweet cornbread. Not from scratch, it was out of the box, but still good. Still warm with lots of butter just starting to melt.

My sister and I were talking about it the other night and she always made sweet cornbread muffins in college as a nice alternative to cupcakes or other treats.

I hadn’t realized how long it had been since I last made sweet cornbread until I made this and the kids all devoured it. Saying things like “why haven’t you ever made this for us before?” I have, it’s just apparently been a really long time. Sorry kids, I won’t ever deprive you again.

Still warm from the oven or leftover from the night before, this cornbread is the best. And since this is a “bread” and not cake, you don’t have to feel guilty having more than one slice.

I love cornbread! It’s a rare treat in my house since we only get it around Thanksgiving. I love the flavors and texture, but it’s really uncommon to find anywhere unless you make it yourself. This recipe looks amazing and I love the idea for frying it in butter :).

That isn’t cornbread, as soon as you added sugar/honey, it became ‘Johnny Cake’. So you are eating ‘Cake’ rather than ‘Bread’. LOL Feel Guilty !! Most people that live north of Tennessee don’t know the difference.

I made this last night and while it was good, it was dry. I’m going to try making it again but going to add some applesauce to sweeten just a touch more and hopefully add some moisture.
